Good to see a post from you Brian, another month and you would have dropped into my secondary blogs to watch folder from my primary folder.
Writing in general is hard. I find though it gets easier as I write more so I try to force myself to do something on a regular basis whether it is blog, newsgroups, listservs, KBs for work, or working on chapters for a book.
I won't be at TechEd, but try to have a good time anyway. ;o)
